  Day 590
Monday


Today we stopped at the Post Office then spent the day at the office. Elder Courtright went to the doctors in the morning because his head/chest cold was just not going away. It would seem fine for a day or two so he decided not to go into the doctors, then it would revert back to a terrible cough and runny nose. So finally he decided it wasn't going away on its own. The doctor said it hadn't migrated into his lungs so she put him on a mild antibiotic to clear up the upper-respiratory infection and added a couple of other goodies to dry him up and open up the airways. NAC was prescribed which seems to have a lot of interesting qualities.
Sister Courtright off-loaded all her setup materials for tomorrow's zone conference to Sister Firth who said she would get everything set up for tomorrow. She also was preparing the boarding supplies and managing some packages that arrived in poor condition.
We left early and headed for Food Lovers market to pick up some fruit for tomorrow's zone conference. We dropped that off at the office then headed home to veg-out for the rest of the day and take tomorrow off. Doctor's orders.

Cape Town Mission Field   28 October 2019   Day 687 Monday Count Up => +1 We have now started our personal tour of South Africa, this is Day 1. We headed for the Cape of Good Hope today knowing it was going to be raining off and on. This is a trip that you spend a lot of time in the car and we were hoping for sunny breaks when we got out to see things. We asked Martha to come along and she was excited to do so. We first stopped at Simon's Town to see the penguins. We were practically the first on the beach. We met Sean Robertson from Idaho but grew up in Salt Lake around 45th South and Redwood Road. He has traveled the world (52 countries) working mostly on ships as a repair diver and inspector. We left just as it started to rain. We then went down to the Cape of Good Hope and the sun was out so we hiked up to the lighthouse and had some great weather. We also drove down to the beach and took some photos there too. We then went to Scarborough for lunch then u...

Cape Town Mission Field       25 September 2018     Day 290 Tuesday Today was a quiet day around the office and we did make a Makro run for missionary supplies. Most of the day was spent catching up on emails and orders and baptisms and car issues. The Mandalay elders took their car in for service and we picked it up for them in the afternoon. There are some pretty white flowers blooming in the corner of the lot that I took a picture of.

Cape Town Mission Field       10 September 2018     Day 275 Monday This was a 'real' Monday. We got a call from the Fish Hoek elders informing us that they lost their phone. The Gugulethu elders hit a pot hole last night and got a flat and drove on it to the chapel because they were driving on their spare, due to a flat tire from Saturday. The zone leaders couldn't help them because their spare was flat. The Elsie River elders lent them their spare but driving home to their flat the car was driving funny. And this all took place before 8:00 am. Later this morning the Knysna elders phoned and indicated that they were driving to George and got a flat but their wrench doesn't fit the lug nuts. I had them call AIG tow truck to assist. The Zone Leaders (Elder Stevens) was particularly helpful in taking responsibility for picking up all the bad spare tires and taking them in to the shop for replacement or repair. That was really kind of him to do that, particul...
